While we were all enjoying the fine American tradition of the Fourth of July long weekend, there was a whole different kind of fine tradition happening across the pond in Paris: the Haute Couture collections.

And, wow, were they fine. From Alexis Mabille's Giovanni Boldini-inspired gowns to Valentino's Renaissance-ready embroidered dresses, there were so many gorgeous looks on display that picking the "best" ones is no small feat indeed.

Take a click through the slideshow above to peep some of the ones that made the cut and tell me which is your favorite one?
